What a bummer, opening rate today at the Raiffeisenbank is 2.40, so would hazard a guess of 2.25/2.30 in resorts. F.V.

Big Deal from Lunn Poly/Thompson.
In the shop window in Hastings this morning.
500 Lev for £231.03 equates to 2.197
by back 3.50 Lev to the £1.00 No commission.
I just wonder how many they catch. F.V.

What I do is order brand new bank of England notes, and change them either at a crown exchange booth only as they are bank linked in Bulgaria, or go to a main bank like Bulbank in Nessebar. Never use any booth asides "Crown" even if the rate appears higher. I was getting a nice 2.80 last July, shame the pound has fallen. Never the less, its still cheap Booze

Just got back on Sat night after 2 weeks in SB. Euro was 1.95 in Crown and Sterling was around 2.30 if I'm not mistaken.
I'll post a full review hopefully tomorrow/ later.

2 weeks ago, I was paying £1-1.50 in Sofia for a salad, less in villages and towns elsewhere. Tried the Shepherds salad - had everything in it so was a meal in itself. Cigarettes were 80p - £1 depending which ones you wanted. Local beer and brandy were cheapest at under £2 for a very large brandy with coffee. Very Happy
